The missing door plug that was torn off from an Alaska Airlines flight while in the air has been found by a school teacher in his garden.

Pilots were forced to perform an emergency landing on Saturday after a hole was ripped into the side of the Boeing 737 Max 9 plane.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says the door plug – where the hole was made – has now been recovered by a school teacher from Portland called Bob.

The incident happened after pilots reported pressurisation warning lights on three earlier flights of the same jet model – one in December and two in January.

There were also four unaccompanied minors on the flight, according to NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy, with “heroic” flight attendants ensuring they had their oxygen masks on.

“They heard a bang,” Ms Homendy said of the flight crew.

A quick-reference laminated checklist was sucked out of the hole, while the first officer lost her headset.

“Communication was a serious issue… It was described as chaos.”

A football club has said it is “totally shocked” after one of its players was shot in the arm during a match.

The man was hit just after 9pm while playing for Rearcross FC during a game in Co Tipperary against Ballymackey FC under floodlights on Saturday night.

Police in Ireland are investigating whether the player was hit by a stray bullet fired by a hunter near the pitch.

The player was treated at the scene by emergency services personnel and taken by ambulance to hospital for further assessment.

He was discharged on Sunday morning with non-life-threatening injuries.

In a statement, the club said: “All at Rearcross FC are shocked at the turn of events last night when our Junior ‘B’ team were playing a Division 2 League game under lights and a very serious incident occurred.

“We are glad that our player is well… We wish him a speedy recovery and to let him known that the whole club is thinking of him and his family at this time.”

It went on to thank the players, referee and police for their help.

Police have appealed for anyone who may have been hunting in the area at the time to come forward.
